Hannover 96 kit 2009/10
Here at twofootedtackle we've been lucky enough to get an early heads-up from Under Armour when they've got something shiny to look at. This time round, it's the new Hannover 96 kit, launched this week.Here's a selection of shots from the launch (home kit is the red one), including an arty shot of Hannover forward Mike Hanke, a popular bod over at Under Armour, which I kinda like for no apparent reason.

Take the FSF National Supporters' Survey
On Friday's I usually post just to pimp out my Soccerlens column (this week being a look at DC United's rookies), but I want to tell you about the Football Supporters' Federation National Supporters' Survey 2009.As a member of the FSF, I'd really like you to complete the survey.

One year after Manchester United and Real Madrid agreed a deal for Cristiano Ronaldo, the £80m move is finally complete.Few outside Salford-on-Thames will be sad to see him go.What do we lose?A significant proportion of football fans in England want the Premier League to be home to the world's best players, and in losing Ronaldo that is certainly undermined.
